• Negative rake geometry 0° for stable cutting
• Chipbreaker F57 for controlled chip formation
• Corner radius 1.2 mm for robust edge strength

Predictable performance on steel and cast iron workpieces

The Tiger‑tec Silver grade WKP25S is developed to balance wear resistance and toughness for demanding production environments. As a coated cemented carbide grade, it is optimised for the heat and chip formation typical of machining steel and cast iron, which results in consistent tool life and reproducible part quality. The combination of the grade and the specified F57 chipbreaker gives reliable chip control that reduces downtime caused by irregular chips and simplifies swarf handling in high‑throughput operations.

Geometry designed for process stability and edge security

The insert’s negative rake (0°) geometry and a corner radius of 1.2 mm deliver higher edge strength for interrupted cuts and heavy engagement cycles. This geometry improves resistance to chipping under variable cutting forces and supports predictable wear progression, which is essential for planned tool changes and cycle time optimisation. The F57 chipbreaker actively shapes the chip to shorter, manageable segments, helping to maintain a stable machining process and improving surface finish without sacrificing productivity.

System benefits: repeatability, handling and integration

As a standard indexable plate in the Tiger‑tec Silver family, this insert fits into established cutter systems and supports straightforward tool management in series production. Key numeric attributes — plate size 09 and plate thickness 06 — allow easy identification and stocking within toolrooms, while the tolerance class M ensures interchangeability and repeatable clamping accuracy. Using this insert contributes to process reliability and measurable cost efficiency by reducing unexpected tool failures and maintaining consistent part tolerances.

FAQ

Which materials are recommended for this insert?
The XNMU090612-F57 WKP25S milling insert from Walter Tools is recommended primarily for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications, matching the grade’s design for typical chip formation and wear behaviour in those material groups.

What benefit does the Tiger‑tec Silver WKP25S grade provide?
WKP25S, from the Tiger‑tec Silver family, offers a coated carbide composition that improves wear resistance and maintains edge toughness, helping to extend service life while keeping machining performance stable across production batches.

Why is the 0° negative rake advantageous?
A 0° negative rake increases edge strength and reduces the risk of chipping under heavy cuts or interrupted machining, which enhances process security and supports consistent component quality.

How does the F57 chipbreaker affect machining?
The F57 chipbreaker produces short, controlled chips that ease swarf evacuation and reduce the likelihood of built‑up edge, contributing to a steadier cutting action and improved surface finishes on both steel and cast iron.

What are the insert size and mounting details?
The insert is specified as plate size 09 with a thickness of 06, tolerance class M, and execution U, enabling compatibility with corresponding cutter bodies designed for this format.
